"The most valuable feature is the load balancing with the circuit-breaker function."
"The feature I find most valuable is that this solution allows us to manage our security."
"You can set up workflows and write limited pieces of logic."
"WSO2 API Manager is easy to use."
"The main feature — the publication of the API, the management section — is great in general."
"The user interface is easy to navigate, and the documentation is extensive. It's open-source, so everything is available, and we can create what we need. That's not necessarily a feature, but it's an advantage."
"WSO2 API Manager is a stable solution."
"The most interesting feature is its Mac-based function."
"It's a good product."

"It is a young product and does not have the kind of brand recognition that would make it a more popular solution with our clients."
"Sometimes when new features are released, they are not immediately stable."

"We would like a better tool for generating documentation for the APIs to be developed."
"In terms of our usage, the main area of concern is that they tend to build enhancements slightly ahead of the considerations for what those enhancements and extensions are. So it could be slightly better communication with the customer base that would be my main issue with them."
"Lacks some new features and updated functionalities."
"API Manager is not easy to scale because some of its components lack scalability. It's a difficult point. Especially because companies are so cloud-based these days, microservice scalability is a major thing."

"Basically, mTLS is a certificate-based communication protocol that WSO2 API Manager doesn't support."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"From a product perspective, the first thing is that although the documentation provided by WSO2 is good, it could be much better. We're in the middle of a complex migration, moving away from VMs to Kubernetes with the latest version of WSO2 and good documentation is essential to us right now."
"The professional support and licensing aspects of WSO have been a challenge."
"WSO2 API Manager could increase their security compliance."
